%X this article seeks to present a research agenda under development by the author since his phd and which is focused on a discussion about the role of "space" in social theory and brazilian social thought. one of the theses which i sustain is related to the possibility of interpreting spatial images as cognitive modes of social life and not just descriptive categories of landscapes. besides, i argue that these images perform a central role in non-central societies, which originated at the margins of european classical modernity. i also suggest that it is possible to analyze brazilian social thought using this analytical tool.
